How risky is it?

The value of the ETF can go down as well as up. You could lose money. One way to gauge risk is to look at how much an ETF's returns change over time. This is called "volatility". In general, ETFs with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. ETFs with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money.

Trading ETFs

ETFs hold a basket of investments, like mutual funds, but trade on exchanges like stocks. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trading ETFs:

Pricing

Net asset value (NAV)

ETFs have two sets of prices: market price and net asset value (NAV).

Market price

? ETFs are bought and sold on exchanges at the market price. The market price can change throughout the trading day. Factors like supply, demand and changes in the value of an ETF's investments can affect the market price.

? You can get price quotes any time during the trading day. Quotes have two parts: bid and ask.

? The bid is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay if you want to sell your ETF units. The ask is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept if you want to buy ETF units. The difference between the two is called the "bid-ask spread".

? In general, a smaller bid-ask spread means the ETF is more liquid. That means you are more likely to get the price you expect.

? Like mutual funds, ETFs have a NAV. It is calculated after the close of each trading day and reflects the value of an ETF's investments at that point in time.

? NAV is used to calculate financial information for reporting purposes--like the returns shown in this document.

Orders

There are two main options for placing trades: market orders and limit orders. A market order lets you buy or sell units at the current market price. A limit order lets you set the price at which you are willing to buy or sell units.

Timing

In general, market prices of ETFs can be more volatile around the start and end of the trading day. Consider using a limit order or placing a trade at another time during the trading day.

Who is the ETF for?

Investors who: ? Are looking for long-term capital growth. ? Want to gain exposure to a portfolio of ETFs that is diversified by asset classes and across

regions and industry sectors. ? Can handle the ups and downs of the stock market.

Don't buy this ETF if you need a steady source of income from your investment.

A word about tax

In general, you'll have to pay income tax on any money you make on an ETF. How much you pay depends on the tax laws where you live and whether or not you hold the ETF in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your ETF in a non-registered account, distributions from the ETF are included in your taxable income, whether you get them in cash or have them reinvested.

1 Returns are calculated using the ETF's net asset value (NAV).

How much does it cost?

This section shows the fees and expenses you could pay to buy, own and sell units of the ETF. Fees and expenses--including any trailing commissions-- can vary among ETFs.

VGRO

Higher commissions can influence representatives to recommend one investment over another. Ask about other ETFs and investments that may be suitable for you at a lower cost.

1. Brokerage commissions

You may have to pay a commission every time you buy and sell units of the ETF. Commissions may vary by brokerage firm. Some brokerage firms may offer commission-free ETFs or require a minimum purchase amount.

2. ETF expenses You don't pay these expenses directly. They affect you because they reduce the ETF's returns. As of March 31, 2023, the ETF's expenses were 0.24% of its value. This equals $2.40 for every $1,000 invested.

Management Expense Ratio (MER) This is the total of the ETF's management fee and operating expenses. The manager has waived some of the ETF's expenses. If it had not done so, the MER would have been higher. Trading Expense Ratio (TER) These are the ETF's trading costs. ETF expenses

Annual rate (as a % of the ETF's value) 0.24%

0.00% 0.24%

Trailing commission The trailing commission is an ongoing commission. It is paid for as long as you own the ETF. It is for the services and advice that your representative and their firm provide to you.

This ETF doesn't have a trailing commission.

What if I change my mind?

Under securities law in some provinces and territories, you have the right to cancel your purchase within 48 hours after you receive confirmation of the purchase. In some provinces and territories, you also have the right to cancel a purchase, or in some jurisdictions, claim damages, if the prospectus, ETF Facts or financial statements contain a misrepresentation. You must act within the time limit set by the securities law in your province or territory. For more information, see the securities law of your province or territory or ask a lawyer.
